I nominate New Story by Grey Wolf for the post 1900 category.

You really have no idea just how much work he has put into it...I have disks he sent me full of documents he has written as background notes which are just too numerous to post, and they add up to more than the story itself! Character profiles, political structures, timelines, commentaries, historical notes, royal lineages... the amount of research and preparation he has done is phenomenal. I am absolutely staggered by it quite frankly. It's all I can do to just post his basic chapters and illustrations!

I also nominate A Much Larger Rome that Lasts Until the Present Day by ericams for the pre 1900 category. He has also put a hell of a lot of effort into his story. It may not be the most plausible timelne around, but it is certainly a damn enjoyable read.

That could be difficult given my present woes....:(

But if he calls and if I'm there, and if I remember, I'll be sure to pass on your request.

I don't think the Rome one would count. ericams didn't actually start the timeline until 2006, even though the thread was started in 2005.

Yes, to be consistent, we would have to go with when the timeline itself was active, not discussion threads related to it.

No. I will put a link to this thread so anyone who wants to visit and use the links can do so.

Yes. That does not disqualify it from being nominated this year...as long as new material was added to the timeline during 2005, it is eligible.

I'm glad that both post 1945 ones are future history, I didn't think it'd be fair to compare future history to recent alt history. :)

DoD may still be eligible, but I'd like to withdraw it from consideration, if that's all right with you. No need to try for a second Turtledove for the same TL, one is enough. ;)
